Model comparisons
Claude Sonnet 5.5 bills 50% less than Muse Wonder 1.0 per million output tokens. Tier prices, request fields and limits side by side.

View model details →View sample outputs →Muse Wonder 1.0 is the standard Muse Wonder model from Meta, offered by Meta as a frontier model for coding, long-running agents and computer use. This chat endpoint takes text, images, video and audio in one message list, reads up to 1,048,576 tokens of input, streams its reply and returns function calls for your application to run. Meta's larger Wonder Full variant is a separate product and is not what this endpoint serves.

About this comparison
Every row here is read from the JSON Schema the endpoint validates against, so it matches what the API will really accept rather than a feature list written by hand.

Do low-filter models allow every request?
Two separate facts sit behind these labels. The first is what we do, which is nothing: no platform content filter, and no maturity flag to set on a request. The second is what each model does on its own, and that is the only part that varies between these two.
Claude Sonnet 5.5
We add no content filter to this model, but like most chat models it declines a blunt request that comes with no context. It writes unrestricted fiction reliably once your system prompt sets up a fiction-writing context, or once the request is framed as a story. Legal and consent duties remain with the customer.
Use these content labels to shortlist models, then open each model page for available examples and content-test details.
The label never changes your obligations. Age, consent, real-person likeness and the law where you operate stay with you, and SpicyAPI does not inspect each request.
Can I swap the model ID without changing the request body?
The task lifecycle is shared; the body is not. Each endpoint publishes its own JSON Schema and the API validates against that, so this is the list to reconcile before a switch.
How to choose
Muse Wonder 1.0 can return more in one reply: up to 1,048,576 tokens against the other model's ceiling.
Muse Wonder 1.0 takes the longer prompt: up to 1,048,576 input tokens in a single request.
Compare
The model identifiers are anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5/chat and meta/muse-wonder-1.0/chat, and both go in the same field of the same request.
Both return the response on the chat request. With streaming enabled, read the stream until it finishes; there is no media task to poll.
Both use the same submit-and-track flow, but their required inputs may differ. Check each model page before switching.
One key, one balance, one set of spend caps. Both bill to the same account in US dollars, and the per-key daily, monthly and lifetime limits apply to whichever one you call.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 allows 60 minutes per task and Muse Wonder 1.0 allows 10. Those are ceilings rather than typical times — most requests finish far sooner — but they are what your own client timeout has to survive.
